A glamping business that was set up less than a year ago is already looking to expand.

Wigwam® Holidays Charnwood Forest (a franchise of Wigwam® Holidays) was opened in October 2018 by Steve and Clare Small.

Using the paddock and land belonging to their home in the Charnwood Forest, the couple bought six deluxe log cabins with support from Barclays.

The couple are now looking to add additional cabins including facilities geared to people with disabilities as well as some sheltered dining areas.

Director Steve Small told local press: “Our aim was always to create a business that would work with our land and provide an income for our family.

“Early interest in the site has been incredible and we are now looking at ways in which we can grow the site in response to the requests we are receiving.

“The environment is important to us and we have tried to develop a site that sits comfortably within its natural surroundings owing to the materials we have used. The cabins we offer are carbon neutral, we do not use concrete in our bases and we use recycled materials wherever possible.”
